White House press secretary Jen Psaki said there are “no plans” for US President Joe Biden to travel to Ukraine this week as he heads to Europe for snap emergency summits.
"The trip will be focused on continuing to rally the world in support of the Ukrainian people and against President Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, but there are no plans to travel into Ukraine,” she said in a tweet.
The details of Biden's tour will be announced later.

but there are no plans to travel into Ukraine.
Biden will meet NATO and European leaders at a scheduled European Union summit in Brussels on March 24 to discuss the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
After Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke to the U.S. Congress, support among both Republicans and Democrats for Ukraine increased, while Republicans continued to blame President Joe Biden for weakness as Vladimir Putin launched the Ukraine invasion.
